So, at that price point, what’s the catch? I’m fine with Android, don’t watch video on my phone, would love the battery savings.

If it’s the same as past e-ink phones it’ll be slow. But nothing you’re going to do on an e-ink phone is super likely to require that much power anyways unless you are using your phone far differently than I am.

Not using mine for video or even social media. Main uses cases are calling, text, GPS, map, compass, web surfing when I have to. E-ink sound good for me?

After watching this review I am actually going to say yeah probably. The ghosting has gotten way better than I remember it being for real time apps. If youre interested watch the review he goes over most of your use cases.

Wow! Not in the market ATM, but I’m sold. IR blaster?! Impressive view in the sunshine. I struggle on the trail, worse on the water, trying to see where the hell I’m at and where I’m pointed.
That review was enough to catch my interest. I may well go for this when I need a new phone.
